Yang Qi and the others did not doubt the words of the leading cultivator, because this group of cultivators were all nine-star martial kings, and the leader was at the peak of martial king. If these people came to kill people and steal treasures, Yang Qi and the others' apparent strength alone would not be enough for them to deal with, and they were simply looking for death.
"Go away, and don't let us see you again." Chen Jie snorted coldly.
"Yes, yes."
The leading cultivator said hurriedly, he knew very well that once the fight started, Chen Jie and others would definitely be able to defeat them completely, and it was considered good luck that they were able to escape now.
When they were leaving, a practitioner in the team said to the leading man, "Brother, what should we do now?"
"What else can we do? Tell the others that we followed the wrong people. This is not Yuan Jiu and his group we are looking for." The leading man said with a wry smile.
"I understand." The practitioner nodded.
"stop!"
At this moment, a cold shout rang in the ears of several people.
The leading man turned around with a pale face and looked at Yang Qi, pleading for mercy, "Brother..."
"The cultivator that Patriarch Hong Ming offered a reward for is named Yuan Jiu?" Yang Qi looked at the man and said.
Yuan Jiu!
Yang Qi didn't expect to hear this name here. If he hadn't guessed that the cultivator rewarded by Hong Ming Patriarch came from the Endless Universe, he would probably just think it was a cultivator with the same name. After all, there were too many cultivators with the same name in the Vast Holy Land. It was normal for a martial king named Yuan Jiu to appear in the Tianhuang Holy Land.
But if this practitioner came from the Endless Universe, it would be different. Yuan Jiu had also gone to the inheritance site of the Yuan Sheng Sect to receive inheritance. Those who could go to the inheritance site were either ordinary practitioners with great fortune or practitioners with deep backgrounds. And his conversation with Yuan Jiu made him vaguely know that Yuan Jiu was a practitioner with deep background. It was not surprising that a martial king who had received inheritance from the inheritance site and had a deep background got the opportunity to enter the Tianhuang Holy Land!
Therefore, the Yuan Jiu mentioned by the man was most likely the Yuan Jiu he knew. He had some friendship with Yuan Jiu. If it was really the other person, he could not just sit back and watch.
"From the intelligence we purchased, we only know that the cultivator leading that group of people calls himself Yuan Jiu. We don't know whether it is a pseudonym or not. There is very little specific information about that group of cultivators. We only became suspicious when we saw that you are all at the peak of Martial King." The cultivator hurriedly explained.
"Go away." Yang Qi said coldly.
“Yes, yes!”
This time, the men and their group did not dare to stay any longer and quickly rushed towards the city because they could not fight in the city. Obviously, they were afraid that Yang Qi and others would go back on their word.
Chen Jie looked at Yang Qi and said in a deep voice, "Brother Yang, do you know the cultivator named Yuan Jiu?"
"I don't know if it's the Yuan Jiu I know, but he is also at the peak of Martial King, and the power behind him should be strong. It is possible that he will come to Tianhuang Holy Land." Yang Qi said uncertainly.
Deng Qing, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "There are too many practitioners with the same name in the Endless Universe, and even if we want to help them, we don't know where they are, so we can't help them at all."
The star field they are in now is not big, but not small either. They don’t know where the team being hunted is. Even if they want to help, it will be useless.
Of course, in addition to this reason, the Hong Ming Patriarch that the other party provoked was a high-level martial emperor, which was also one of the reasons why they did not want to intervene. They could not be the opponent of the high-level martial emperor, and they had to use life-saving items to save their lives. They had consumed a lot of life-saving items on the way before. If they used up their own life-saving items for those practitioners with whom they had little friendship, it was obvious that they were a little reluctant.
"If he is really the Yuan Jiu you know, Brother Yang, and he is also from the Endless Universe, I think they should have something to save their lives." Zhao Hong looked at Yang Qi and continued, "Since they all escaped from the hands of the high-level Martial Emperor, it will not be so easy for the other party to track them down."
Yang Qi nodded with a wry smile. It was indeed not an easy task to find a cultivator in the vast star field, even if Patriarch Hong Ming was a high-level Martial Emperor.
Soon, Yang Qi and his group returned to the city. Yang Qi quickly bought a detailed report about the bounty mission of Hong Ming Patriarch. With this report, he was basically sure that Yuan Jiu among the group of practitioners should be the Yuan Jiu he knew. Because according to the report, Yuan Jiu was also a practitioner who was good at the soul. Yang Qi, who had seen Yuan Jiu, knew that Yuan Jiu had a strong aura of origin and was a martial king who was good at the soul.
They have the same name and surname, come from the endless universe, and are good at the same path. This information is enough to confirm Yuan Jiu's identity.
"I hope Brother Yuan can get rid of this trouble." Yang Qi sighed.
Although he wanted to help Yuan Jiu, he didn't know where to start. He could only hope that Yuan Jiu and others could solve the current problems themselves.
As time passed, the day for the teleportation array to open was quietly approaching. Just a few days before the teleportation array opened, Chen Jie suddenly called everyone together to discuss the matter.
Yang Qi was originally in seclusion, comprehending the shadow path. When he received Chen Jie's message, he immediately rushed over, "Brother Chen, why is it so urgent?"
"Come to think of it, this matter is related to you." Chen Jie said with a smile.
Is it related to me
Yang Qi was stunned. He had been in seclusion during this period of time and had not done anything else. How could this meeting be related to him
"Ancestor Hong Ming is dead." Chen Jie said.
What
Yang Qi's expression changed slightly. Ancestor Hong Ming was a high-level Martial Emperor, how could he be dead
A thought flashed through his mind, and Yang Qi couldn't help but said in a deep voice, "It's Yuan Jiu and the others..."
"It should be. I heard that Yuan Jiu and the others' whereabouts seemed to have been exposed, and then they had a fight with Patriarch Hong Ming, who eventually died." Zheng Jie said.
"Thank you, Brother Zheng." Yang Qi said with gratitude.
Although everyone was unwilling to intervene in this matter, because of Yang Qi, Chen Jie still asked Zheng Jie to pay attention to this matter, so Zheng Jie was the first to learn about the death of Patriarch Hong Ming.
"I'm just asking for some information. You don't have to be polite, Brother Yang." Zheng Jie said with a calm smile.
Yang Qi seemed to have thought of something, and quickly asked, "By the way, Brother Zheng, how many casualties did Yuan Jiu and the others suffer?"
"I'm not sure about this, but there were only the remains of Patriarch Hong Ming left at the scene. When the Taiyi Sect's strong men arrived, they did not find any other practitioners." Zheng Jie said.
Zhao Hong, who was standing by, couldn't help but say, "Since they were able to kill Patriarch Hong Ming, they must have used something to save their lives. I don't think there will be any casualties."
Yuan Jiu and his men were definitely no match for Hong Ming Patriarch, even if he was seriously injured. They could only kill him with the help of life-saving items. In other words, Yuan Jiu and his men probably didn't fight Hong Ming Patriarch directly, so the possibility of their own casualties was naturally small. (To be continued)
